The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky Phoenix brings stellar innovation and kinetic art into a striking luxury watch for serious collectors.
Few watches blend art and mechanics as masterfully as the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky Phoenix Edition—a horological marvel in which mythology and astronomy meet, and craftsmanship treads the edge of the sublime. Designed for connoisseurs of rich and exotic luxury lifestyle trends, this is more than a watch; it’s a kinetic sculpture born of fantasy and excess.
Within a 47mm pink gold case, Astronomia Sky Phoenix boasts Jacob & Co.’s signature four-arm motion layout beneath a huge domed sapphire crystal. Each of the four rotating arms serves a specific function: double-axis tourbillon, magnesium-lacquered world, rotating hour-minute dial, and the pièce de résistance—a stunning hand-sculpted 18K rose gold phoenix cut mid-flight.
What distinguishes this edition is not so much the engineering—it’s art. The phoenix, orange-gold enamel flames flickering, appears to rise out of an aventurine glass background of dark-space colours, a nod to stellar rebirth. A turntable celestial disk maps constellations above, casting sidereal movement in real time—a poetic nod to dreamers and stargazers as well.
Inside, the JCAM19 hand-wound movement drives all of this theatrics. Its flying tourbillon which rotates in 60 seconds and vertical caliber are protected by a patented system of differential, and so despite all its orbital elements, it is guaranteed to be precise. The whole galaxy of orbitals rotates every 20 minutes and makes the watch itself a traveling galaxy.
Priced well into seven figures, the Astronomia Sky Phoenix is a unicorn—only purchasable through bespoke commissioning or ultra-luxury exhibitions. It’s a symbol of hedonistic experience, like private flying over Northern Lights or dinner under desert stars in Dubai.
Jacob & Co. has traditionally been haute horlogerie’s bad boy poet, and the Phoenix model continues that tradition. It’s for the global elite who understand that a watch is not a fashion accessory but a symbol of status. Slung over a silk tuxedo or hidden away in a safe-deposit high-security collector’s safe, it tells of luxury vacations, sybaritic living, and stargazing aspiration.
In the era of minimalism being passé, this watch is mythic. For the ultra-high-net-worth aficionado who wants the magic, it is the ultimate flex—time, condensed into story.
